I am sure that this is part of the work around for the Apple patent.
I have several friends that have iPhones, and whenever they drop a pin in the Maps iPhone app, and text it to me, it shows up as a vCard instead of letting me click on a link or even letting me copy and paste a link to Google maps.
Does anyone know how to get around this? What do you do to be able to see the address on a map?
Also, if anyone knows how to get links to youtube videos from Google+ to go to the youtube app instead of the browser, that would be very helpful too!

First of all i did not found an apropiate sub forum to start my thread, so really sorry if this is a wrong forum. I owned galaxy nexus so I thought this would be a good sub forum
Now let's come to the main issue.
Recently an anti islamic movie was upload to Youtube. Which creates alot of tension in the 3rd world.... Pakistan's government block the website across the Pakistan to protest against the video. And YouTube will remained close till the removal of that video (which ain't gonna happen like this).
As you all know that Pakistan is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Pakistan telecommunication authority hire inexperienced IT experts due to political pressures. These incompetent employees and government could not manage to block the YouTube properly at first. So PTA immediately block the IP of YouTube. But in doing of such impotent work by our ****ty government more then half of Google services become unusable in Pakistan. We can't connect to gmail account on our android and not even play store.
We can not download apps from the app store because of such failed action of our government.
As you know that YouTube is owned by Google. Yoiube IP is same as most of the Google's ip's.
PTA have blocked the IP so many Google services had stop.
In light of above explanation I need a work around on how open my gmail account and play store. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I know through proxy I can unblock the websites. But I,m unable to sync my gmail account through proxies because of the Google's high security. And I still can not download apps via market through proxy.
Give me a good suggestion. Any work around, any good proxy please.
Any modified Google play store.
I have galaxy nexus, galaxy note HTC desire and Asus transformer. All of them could not connect to Google services due to this blockage. And I know this problem had spread across whole of the android users in pakistan.
Refrain from political discussion or abusing thanks.
Google "droidvpn" download the app and install it. Get registered on its official website to get a username and passwork. Then install the app on your device, enter the username and password. After the app connects, u'll be able to access Google Play.
PS: Your Device Must Be Rooted!
Hit Thanx If It Helps!!!!!!!

Bypass/Unblock Youtube And All Google Services In Pakistan.

I've taken a lot of pictures while on holiday, and although their geotagged location is shown and placed on Google maps I would like to be able to share these maps with an option to find these locations via GPS.
To reiterate: I can share the maps with the pictures but there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting directions to them.
Can anyone suggest an app or a way of doing this?
You're going to have to go into more detail because I dont understand the issue.
disclaimer - I am on a custom rom...
But if I open a photo in gallery, and do a "view on map", It loads in google maps app. If I then click into the location, I can share it (as a link).
This link opens in google maps app or opens google maps on any computer browser and "get directions" can be used.
If this isn't what you're talking about, please be more explicit about what you are asking and how you want to do things, because I dont understand
Also, please pst questions in the Q&A section

I've taken pictures on holiday and geotagged them with the GPS.
I have uploaded them to Picasa which has placed them on Google maps at the geotagged locations.
I can share the folder with friends, and they can view my map with my pictures shown at the locations.
However.
Although they can see the geotagged locations of each picture on the map, they cannot get directions to them.
Oh and as this is not a ROM issues I believe this belongs in here under 'General Chat'
All questions in relation to the S3 go in Q&A. General is not for questions.
Although, your question has nothing to do with the S3 or even android at all. Your question is a picasa question
But you're right, Picasa provides no way of doing this. I was frustrated earlier this month when I geotagged some photos I took with my SLR and uploaded them to picasa.
Once in Picasa, the best option I can suggest is click the "Full details" link which gives you the longitude and latitude, which if you paste into google maps, becomes something you can get directions to.... Its not very good. A glaring omission I'd say.
If you had a Google+ account, your picasa albums would convert into that instead and when you share from Google+, the point on the map is clickable and opens in google maps, with "Get Directions"

No it doesn't, I've explained this to you both via a report closing message and a PM, I don't think it needs discussing further frankly.

Sorry I've only just seen your report and thank you for moving it into the correct area :good:
So a few Months down the line is there any new/updated apps/services that can give you directions to Geotagged photos?
Basically I do a lot of exploring, and would love to be able to convert geotag information to directions that I can share with other people
Nothing since Google+ as in my last post.

Basically I'm trying figure out if it's illegal to display a website that I don't own in a webview in app, without getting it shut down? Say for instance, you were trying to be social and allow users to see your twitter or facebook page within the app. Will google snatch it down
Hey everyone, how do I sign into Themer? On my Galaxy S4 it gives me the option so sign in with Google or Facebook. I have neither. IF I DID HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO HOWEVER I would get a Google account just for Themer... but I don't know if that is possible. When I select to sign into Themer with Google, it tells me to choose a Google account when there is none on the device. What do? (derp) Thanks in advance.

Hi there, we'd advise creating a simple Google account. We use this feature generally for security purposes as well as to display unread email count notifications (as the general population now use Gmail as their preferred email account).
Not everyone wants to participate in social media. I find it disappointing that Themer would require I do so, and is a deal-breaker for me.
Without a google account an android device has only half of its functions. I uderstand google+ but a normal google account?

We understand that it's not for everyone, but it's the best way for us help find new users as well as to keep Themer free. We will soon add options to remove this service.

If you don't have a Google account you may as well not be using android. "Google account" does not equal "social media". Without a Google account you can't even use the Play Store.

You're correct. I realized that I had been confusing google+ with my normal google account. My bad here. I had assumed that since it was requesting me to sign in with my google account or facebook that it was social media related. I, in fact, do have a google account and can access the play store - which is how downloaded Themer to try in the first place.
I'd now like to know why it needs me to sign in with either account. How does that help Themer find new users and keep it free? I'm not being an ass here, just trying to learn new things.

To be honest it's mainly for security reasons on our side. If someone breaches our servers, we can link it to a verified account and take action where necessary. In terms of social, when you log in you might have selected the box to receive emails from Themer about new updates and very important events. In this way, people who have uninstalled Themer because of some reason, might find that it now includes something that they've always wanted. Therefore it helps introduce 'new' users and in turn the more users we have the greater chance we have to generate resources (through the sponsored apps in the Smart Categories, which can also be turned off if the user desires).

Thanks a lot for your help. I was also facing the same problem.
Google account is a deal breaker
Hi,
For me this is a deal breaker.
I can follow your reasoning. But how can you give the same app the rights to read (display) all your text-messages, contacts & location together with a personalized login (be it google or facebook).
I know that American mentality is different in this case than German mentality: but I think it is insane to give access to all of these information at once...
I'm not the only paranoid here (if you think I am) but I know a lot of others (Germans) who think the same.
Sorry of I'm too frank: if you want to reach more Germans with your app, then you need to rethink this log-in dialogue.
btw: yes, you can use Android (CyanogenMod) without any kind of account. Works great
Yours, toggle

Hi Toggler,
We understand your concern, as we are simply a launcher. However, that isn't really the case. As all of our widgets are built in, we require these permissions to allow the user to view his/her unread SMS/Email/Missed Call counts on the homescreen. We don't store any of the information, we simply display it. We've now actually had to remove the Dialer Widget to reduce the number of permissions required, but we still need a few to improve the user's experience. Once Facebook introduces anonymous login, we'll implement that straight away, however right now we need it for security reasons on our end (in then breaching theme servers).
Hope this helps!
